Who Is Drunk and When in Ames, Iowa?

Project Description

Using data collected from the State of Iowa, you will apply the
data wrangling and visualization skills you learned in
Introduction to the Tidyverse.
Anyone with some familiarity
with the tidyverse suite of R packages, specifically
dplyr and ggplot2 will be able to successfully complete
this project. You will group, summarize, and visualize data
on breath alcohol tests in Ames, Iowa, (home of Iowa State
University) from 2013-2017. Some questions you will answer
include, "What is the highest recorded value?" and
"When do breath alcohol tests occur most?"
